Bible Stories for Jewish Children

This book is the first of a two book series which collectively cover the Hebrew bible. The first book covers the Torah. The second covers the balance of the Bible. Stories are presented in order of their appearance in the Bible. Each book contains 18 stories. Each story is told concisely over two pages, followed by activities to review comprehension. The books are nicely illustrated. My boys, ages 4, 6, and 11, all enjoy the stories and activities. The stories, which make great bedtime stories, are presented well to be understandable and interesting for children.
